DANA MCCOY

Dana McCoy has been releasing songs independently since 2018. Her music is intimate and draws inspiration from the artists she listened to growing up in Maryland (Prince, Mariah Carey, and TLC) and her favorite contemporaries (Solange, Olivia Dean, Beyoncé, and Chloe x Halle.) McCoy crafts messages that remind herself and listeners that vulnerability should be celebrated and self-love cherished. In her own words, she explained… “I just want music and art to be a landscape where people can find different aspects of themselves and not feel like they have to play a certain role.” Early releases like BROKEN BOY and IS IT OKAY introduced Dana’s vulnerable yet self-assured songwriting. NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, which has 1.2M streams to date, garnered widespread support, earning spots in playlists like Spotify’s Butter and Fresh Finds. Her debut EP ‘To Those Who Wait’ showcased an alluring alt-R&B sound. Her second EP, ‘When We Wake,’ will be released soon.
